I have been searching for a MP4 player on the internet. Looking for a good quality and cheap one. The best I have seen so far is (2.4" 4GB AVI MP3 MP4 Player Touch Keypad w MicroSD Slot) from an eBay site http://stores.ebay.com.au/solaluna88

Price: AU$56.00 + AU$24.00 (shipping) which is within my budget. Anyone have a better suggestion? Or should I go for that one?

Thanks
Victoria

Hi, I know you have a pretty low budget, but if possible, go for a known brand like Sony or Samsung or iPod because at least then you know its trustworthy and it should work as you expect it.

Buying the type of thing you're looking at with no good brand is dodgey and you'll probably be disappointed. Especially as you can't really try before you buy with ebay.

If it were me, I would either buy a decent brand one (even second hand) or get nothing at all.

MP4 players are a plain fragile to use. they tend to crash once the memory is nearly full. and it's painfully slow to skip tracks especially for models with higher than 2Gb memory sizes. if you want a cheap music player then you should take a look at creative zens. but if you want to spend some extra cash buy sony or iPod or whatever quality brand that interests you
